Overview
Nam Du sits off the Kiên Giang coast and is reached by high-speed boat from Rạch Giá pier. This three-day trip keeps Hòn Lớn as its base, adds a day on the water around the smaller islands, and closes with a slow morning at the harbour before the return crossing.
Hòn Lớn as the base, the sea as the variable
Bãi Cây Mến beach
A curved bay with calm water, pale sand and coconut palms leaning over the shore. You swim here on the first afternoon.
Boat trip and snorkelling
A boat takes you to the smaller islands on day two for swimming and snorkelling, with basic gear and life jackets, when the sea allows.
Hòn Lớn and the fishing village
The fishing port, the village and the coastal road, covered with local transport on day one.
Boat times, sea conditions and your confirmation
Boat times, the order of stops and the snorkelling section can change with weather, waves and safety requirements at sea. The itinerary describes the shape of each day rather than a fixed timetable.
Before you travel, check your service confirmation for room class, transfer arrangements and any add-ons you have booked. If you are prone to seasickness, prepare for the sea crossings.
